This is just political play from Ukraine. They are trying to show that they can do without Russia ... I don't believe for a minute that there can be any practical follow up !

Here are some pics of an AN225 fuesalage, you can see the wing route extensions that the normal AN124 wings were then attached to.
Not sure if the pics are of the flying one or the second not completed one ? There is an AN70 fuesalage in the back ground 01-04 Might help date the photo ?

To buildt the second one I can't believe it. Who needs such a big aircraft with six engines? The first an only one AN-225 stands more behind the runway as is flying, to big to expensive in maintenace to old engineering.

So did it get a big check? Planned design life was 25 years wasn't it? So have they prolonged it and how much?
